In his first-ever interview, the sole Australian survivor of the Waco siege has revealed to 60 Minutes what really took place during the 51-day stand-off, and why he believes crazed cult leader David Koresh will one day return to Earth as the son of God.

Which is confusing in itself, because Deakin was already Australia's second prime minister.

Time Lady

It's fortunate for Doctor Who that it has a plot device that allows the lead actor to be replaced whenever the ratings dip.

Compare that to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, where Will Smith simply says "Aunt Vivian. You look different," and then stares at the camera until the audience gets its head around the casting change.

But now the BBC is batting away complaints of "political correctness gone mad" because their new Doctor is a … woman.

An odd problem given the whole show is about accepting that an alien that looks like a British man travels through time and space in a 1960s-era London phone box wielding a device called a "sonic screwdriver".

More likely the Whovians are actually either pleased or neutral at the casting of Jodie Whittaker, and the grouches are the same Twitter trolls who complain about everything ad nauseam.

After all, the reality is the current doctor Peter Capaldi has seen ratings plummet in recent seasons ... because the Oscar winner is best utilised in shows like The Thick of It … where he can swear several times in a sentence.

Also, is Time Lord a genderless term or is the Doctor now a Time Lady?

Hand-holding

Don't let anybody tell you Donald Trump doesn't have a sense of humour.

Last week we reported on a handshake between Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron, which went on for half-a-minute.

But in an interview with the New York Times, Trump managed to turn the cringeworthy greeting into a way to praise Macron, and implicitly, of course, himself as well.
